Description
Summary:Redox biology balances free radical generation and scavenging systems, whereas an imbalanced cellular redox can hasten the onset of various diseases and be regarded as a Pandora's box of ailments. The current study aims to assess the pathophysiological impact of intergenerational resveratrol treatment on diabetes-related cognitive and cardio-renal disorders. Diabetic rats of the first, second, and third generations were subjected to an intergenerational treatment of resveratrol (20 mg/kg/p.o./day) for 5 months. During this period, the second generation of animals (pups of the first generation) was produced. After the adulthood of second-generation rats, they used to produce third-generation rats. The rats of each generation were evaluated for physiological parameters (BMI, litter size, and life expectancy) and the pathological impact of streptozotocin (55 mg/kg/i.p.), cognitive dysfunctions, and cardio-renal injury. The intergenerational treatment of resveratrol significantly reduced litter size and improved anthropometric parameters, life expectancy, and blood glucose levels in diabetic animals. Resveratrol treatment ameliorates oxidative stress as measured by increased serum nitrite/nitrate concentrations, SOD activity, reduced glutathione concentrations, total serum antioxidant capacity, and diminished serum TBARS level in diabetic animals. Furthermore, diabetic rats receiving intergenerational resveratrol treatment showed improved cognitive behaviour and cardio-renal functionality when compared to the disease control group. The intergenerational treatment of resveratrol improved the physiological traits and vital abilities of the heart, kidney, and brain, which endorse its antioxidant potential. Surprisingly, resveratrol treatment increases the second and third generations' resistance to neurobehavioral changes, diabetes, and -associated cardio-renal dysfunction, implying that these generations are “super-pups.” [Display omitted] •Intergenerational treatment of resveratrol was evaluated against its pathophysiological roles.•Resveratrol significantly reduced litter size but improved anthropometric parameters, and life expectancy in diabetic rats.•Resveratrol ameliorates oxidative stress, improved cognitive behaviour, and cardio-renal functionality in diabetic rats.•Comparative analysis of the outcome reveals the pathology resistance in 3rd generation animals that imply “Super-pups”.
